And that all I could do was turn on the fan anyway because for the actual ac part to work it has to be vented.  She was not having any of that. She flat out told me she “didn’t want to deal with me” so I went and got my other manager.  I don’t know exactly what happened but after the lady left and I went in the aisle I found both displays unplugged. So the one bright spot we had was now gone. All because I didn’t do something I wasn’t actually supposed to do.
